Why we love it
Cavatellini is the smaller, more delicate version of the traditional Cavatelli pasta, a beloved shape from Southern Italy. With their subtle, shell-like curve and slightly open center, cavatellini are perfect for catching sauces, making every bite rich and flavourful. Their petite size and versatility make them ideal for a wide range of dishes, from hearty meat ragù and vegetable sauces to light broths, children’s meals, or even cold pasta salads during warmer months.
Our artisan cavatellini is made exclusively from high-quality Apulian flour and water, using traditional methods that ensure a superior taste and texture. The pasta is slow-dried at low temperatures, a process that preserves its nutritional value and enhances its ability to maintain a perfect al dente bite.
Naturally egg-free and additive-free, this small-batch pasta is fully suitable for vegans and vegetarians. Whether you’re preparing a comforting winter soup, a quick weekday dinner, or a refreshing pasta salad, our cavatellini offers an authentic Italian experience in every forkful.
The artisan who made it
When Nicola Pedote started working as a pastry chef 50 years ago, he didn't imagine that his family's history would have the smell of vanilla and the taste of flour.
In 2001, the Pedote and Fanizzi families decided to continue the legacy of their father Nicola, mixing three fundamental ingredients: the typical features of the territory, the artisan techniques of the past and the innovation of modern technologies. Nowadays, they choose only quality ingredients, ensuring respect for traditional recipes.
The research for new flavours and new combinations of ingredients, searching among the recipes of the Italian and Apulian gastronomic tradition, in particular their taralli are prepared following their grandmothers' recipes, paying particular attention to the choice of ingredients and their provenance and are prepared with 99% Apulian ingredients, this is the way Gran Forno celebrate Puglia and its flavours.
